He is a Christian Author and Evangelist based in South Africa
Angus Buchan was originally a Zambian maize and cattle farmer of Scottish descent who started farming in Zambia but was forced to sell everything and move to Greytown, KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa in 1976 due to political unrest in that country
Buchan was born in Bulawayo, Southern Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe)
The son of immigrants from Scotland, he farmed maize and cattle in Zambia
In 1980, the Buchans started Shalom Ministries to preach in his local community
Its main purpose later became to go out to preach around Africa
In time, he became a full-time evangelist and so handed over to his sons the day-to-day running of his farm business
In 1998, he wrote a book about his life, Faith Like Potatoes, which was turned into a film in 2006, with the same title
He now presents a religious show, Grassroots, on e.tv on Sunday evenings at 6:30 to 7:00 and Thursday afternoons from 5:00 to 5:30, which is mostly filmed from his own farm
He is also a full-time evangelist who travels around Africa and draws very large crowds
